Non-hysterectomised
Add a progestogen if used in women with a uterus. This could be a separately prescribed therapy such as a 52mg intrauterine delivery system with a license for endometrial protection or micronised progesterone. You may also consider a combined HRT preparation such as Femoston® or Femoston®-conti (estradiol + dydrogesterone).
Benefits of oral estradiol therapy
The active ingredient, 17β-estradiol is a regulated bioidentical hormone (or body identical hormone) and is similar to its biological equivalent.3 It substitutes for the loss of estrogen production in menopausal women, and alleviates menopausal symptoms.
